Two sisters, sister A and sister B, play SCRABBLE with each other every evening. Sister A is a statistician, and she draws a ran

dom sample of 30 results from the 1,420 total games that have been played to construct a confidence interval estimate of p, the proportion of SCRABBLE games between her and her sister that she has won. Her 95% confidence interval estimate of p is LCL = 0.36, UCL = 0.69.
A 95% confidence interval estimate of the total number of games sister A has won out of the 1,450 games that have been played is LCL =___________ and UCL = ___________

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority is conducting a study to estimate the proportion of low-income commuters who drive to work on a toll road. The project manager wants to estimate the proportion to within 0.03 with 95% confidence, and the project manager believes that p will turn out to be approximately 0.11.

A sample size no smaller than __________ is needed.

Answer:

First question: LCL = 522, UCL = 1000.5

Second question: A sample size no smaller than 418 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

First question:

Lower bound:

0.36 of 1450. So

0.36*1450 = 522

Upper bound:

0.69 of 1450. So

0.69*1450 = 1000.5

LCL = 522, UCL = 1000.5

Second question:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The project manager believes that p will turn out to be approximately 0.11.

This means that \pi = 0.11

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The project manager wants to estimate the proportion to within 0.03

This means that the sample size needed is given by n, and n is found when M = 0.03. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.11*0.89}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.11*0.89}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.11*0.89}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.11*0.89}}{0.03})^2

n = 417.9

Rounding up

A sample size no smaller than 418 is needed.

Answer:

V=97.6\ in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the cylinder

The volume of the cylinder is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}h

we have

r=4/2=2\ in ---> the radius is half the diameter

h=8\ in

substitute

V=\pi (2)^{2}(8)\\\\V=32\pi\ in^3

step 2

Find the volume of the cone

The volume of the cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h

we have

we have

r=2\ in ---> the radius is the same that the radius of the cylinder

h=0.70\ in

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (2)^{2} (0.70)\\\\V=0.93\pi\ in^3

step 3

Find the volume of the plastic object

we know that

The volume of the plastic object is equal to the volume of the cylinder minus the volume of the cone

so

V=32\pi-0.93\pi=31.07\pi\ in^3

assume

\pi=3.1416

V=31.07(3.1416)=97.6\ in^3
